it’s not about recycling or using less
energy. Sustainability work is about
understanding how to make better
decisions based on a strong under-
standing that humans are a part of
nature not outside of it. We need to
learn from, respect, and apply
Indigenous ways of knowing and leave
no one behind. This means constantly
being aware of the interconnections
between ecology, politics, economics,
and social inequities. It’s planning to
ensure we survive on this planet and
our institutions survive in the current
political and ecological climate.
Addressing sustainability challenges,
like the climate crisis, gives universities
and colleges a competitive advantage
by making us more relevant to our
communities and more resilient to
internal and external threats.”267http://www.businesschief.com
